Sub: Noise pollution in Lajpat Nagar
Sir,
Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I want to draw the attention of the authorities towards the noise created by loudspeakers and vehicles in this colony. Not a single day passes, when one cannot escape from the noisy atmosphere. The blaring of loudspeakers at the time of religious ceremonies, birthday parties or wedding ceremonies adds to the noise in the area. People use the loudspeakers at a high volume, which harms our ears and other sensitive parts of the body. The vehicular pollution too disturbs our health. The patients are unable to have a wink of sleep. The attention of the students is affected due to loud noise, and thus, puts a direct impact on their health and studies. I request the authorities to take remedial steps in this regard and instruct to use the loud speakers at the lower pitch. This will definitely bring a relief to all. I hope my voice will reach to the authorities and the residents would be protected.
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,
Ankita Rawat

Subject: The insensitive use of loudspeakers in towns and cities.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily national newspaper, I would like to highlight the nuisance caused by the irresponsible use of loudspeakers.
Every year our locality is disturbed by the use of loudspeakers during the festivals of different religions. Festivals are a part of our religious, and social life. The problem is not celebration of festivals, but the manner in which they are celebrated. Most of the popular festivals in India are celebrated using loudspeakers to play music at high volume throughout the day and all night long. This practice by religious organisations is public disturbance and a major cause of noice pollution. Noise pollution is known to cause headache, irritation, and other health problems. We must also sympathise the sick people as well as children and infants who need to rest and sleep properly.
The irresponsible use of loudspeakers interfere with the students who are studying for school and college exams, competitive exams for jobs or doing their daily homeworks.
I strongly feel that the use of loudspeakers should be banned in residential areas and defaulters severely penalised.
Yours sincerely
